If I'm not mistaken, there are quite a few in Dark Times II. Try playing as the Shadow Guard, he has a few.

Shadow Guard's lines actually are in game. They were, for some reason, not removed when the plans for a Royal Guard hero were scrapped. You can actually see the voice in the credits (both in game and in the manual), along with Old Obi-wan and Ki-Adi-Mundi. This is why he sounds like Sev and the republic announcer, they share the same actor. Also, this is why the rebels will shout "ROYAL GUARD!" when they see one, the lines were recorded but not used, Mav simply reactivated them.

However, the custom voices have been used before. The Republic Commando in the Conversion Pack has one for whenever he takes damage, "Battle damage here!" but that really doesn't count as it's a replacement of the low health "AH! OH!" lines.

That's probably because you have another addon mod that's also loading in a custom icon for its era. Remove that other mod from the addon folder and you won't have the problem.

If anyone wants to hop online, I'll be starting a server in just a minute. It'll be the same as yesterday, called "Rising Son."

I am really enjoying the mod, however I can't play Mon Calamari; Glacier.
The map crashes on Conquest mode each time. I also got some weird Sev 3 errors when I tried to run it in debug mode.
I'm on the lowest video settings.

If you have issues, it'll have to do with your PC. Does it have any problems with other maps with water?

Thanks, Maveritchell. It was a pleasure to beta test this for you. You do outstanding work! :thumbs:

that was great!!! However, there is only one issue I found


Image

a few collision issues in the TIE construction place. I like how you animated alot of the background ships! My favourite map was Nar Shaada. It was cool to see all the ships flying around (and the train)

I didn't enjoy the control thing much, but V.I.P. was very fun.

What else? Hmmm...Korriban wasn't too fun to look at (very mono-texture), the Dantooine was fun, but a little nutty (lots of running around).

I didn't like the Raxus Map at all. It was WAY too big. I don't know if you intend to edit anything, but Raxus Prime is what I would patch up! It was big, props were tossed randomly (not like Raxus Prime tossed, but my room tossed) and the ground was (gasp!) FLAT.

All in all, I was impressed. You never stop amazing the gametoast community Mav. You seem to have a habit of overdoing yourself. good job. I love how you updated the electro-staff sounds. Nice touch. I also like Luke's jump attack. I went flying.

Three cheers for the king of modders is in order. keep it up Mav!

Criticism of my map is fine - having a few months of hindsight I actually agree that the map is a bit too large - but the props were most certainly not tossed around randomly. If you place objects in your room the same way I place objects in my maps, you must spend ages considering the exact rotation of every minute item for the best visual effect. :P

It used to have problems with Naboo, but I patched that. I made some maps with water that worked, and the other stock maps worked.
Also, the coral island map crashed. I have a feeling you're right...

I just finished the campaign. This mod was amazing, and I can tell that so much polish and detail went into this! Some of the missions were a bit hard at times, but as with all your mods, the big challenge makes the victory even better. This was all around a revolutionary mod. :thumbs:

You can say whatever you want so long as it is within the limits of the site rules. I make no promises whether I will choose to agree or commiserate. :)

Well, I felt the side mission involving holocrons wasn't worth losing my fleet over after a while. My patience wore thin after I regained the landing zone only to realize there were only 9 units left.

But that's just my opinion. If I have no cause to be upset over it, feel free to tell me.
